Battle: Los Angeles is an alien invasion movie filmed relatively cheaply and being promoted as a massive, Roland Emmerich-scale eventmovie. From what we can tell it's more of a war film than an alien one, focusing on a troop of Marines led by Aaron Eckhart as they take to the streets of Los Angeles to fend off the invasion. Directed by Jonathan Liebesman,Battle: Los Angeles stars Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, Ramon Rodriguez, Bridget Moynahan, Ne-Yo, and Michael Peña. It opens March 11, 2011.

Here’s the official synopsis for Battle: Los Angeles:For years, there have been documented cases of UFO sightings around the world – Buenos Aires, Seoul, France, Germany, China. But in 2011, what were once just sightings will become a terrifying reality when Earth is attacked by unknown forces. As people everywhere watch the world’s great cities fall, Los Angeles becomes the last stand for mankind in a battle no one expected. It’s up to a Marine staff sergeant (Aaron Eckhart) and his new platoon to draw a line in the sand as they take on an enemy unlike any they’ve ever encountered before.
